The Games
The PSP Professional rankings title
usually comes down to the World
Cup--not this year. Heading into the
Cup Edmonton Impact virtually had
the title locked up. Only a bottom
showing at the Cup could even make
the title race interesting. Impact has
had a great season pre World Cup
with a win in Chicago, two second
place finishes and a sixth place in
Dallas. Tampa Bay Damage heads
into the Cup with a stranglehold on
second place, with the LA Ironmen in
third. The recently (post World Cup)
disbanded Omaha Vicious has had
four straight top seven finishes in
the Pro ranks headed into the World
Cup. Coming into this event some-
how Dynasty would not be playing in
the Champions division after being
relegated to the Challengers division
at the PSP West Coast Open. And
last event’s winners Art Chaos looks
for some consistency at the Cup after an up and down first four events.
In the Professional preliminary
rounds Tampa Bay Damage did what
they often do going undefeated in
their four games. Art Chaos, Edmonton Impact, San Antonio X-Factor
and the LA Ironmen each won three
preliminary round games. Somehow
Moscow Red Legion lost all four of
their first round games and Houston
Heat managed only one preliminary
round win.
